Hideaway quilt

February 10, 2010

This quilt started as a bunch of nine-patches in my QIP box. I love the colors (dandelion, spring green, & grey) but I wanted a free-form design so I re-worked it. It’s about 36″x45″.

It is quilted in a classic meander & the back is solid yellow with a few little squares. I picked solid grey for the binding because the grey fabrics seemed to get a little lost in the finished quilt.

As always, you can click on the thumbnails to see larger photos.

Wow! I say again …. Wow! This quilt just blows me away. The colors look so great together. Grey is my new favorite quilt color!

What a creative way to use the crazy 9 patch blocks. I especially love those wedges of the caramel-colored fabric, and also how the gray and yellow look together. Beautiful!

Lovely colors! I was just thinking today (when I got some new grey fabrics in the mail) how great these colors would look together.

Gorgeous! I love the colors you used and the free form nine patch design

Oh, I do love this one. The extra bits in the borders/sashing just make this quilt.

This is a beautiful quilt: I especially love the back — the contrast between the simple color, the few patterns in simple geometry and the exuberant quilting — its really wonderful!
